Dear HN, given that this is a direct reply to another HN post, it might be useful to have a "submit reply post" feature that shows this entry, indented, right below the "Why the f*ck?" entry, just like in your email software or any forum. It wouldn't increase HN real estate occupation (still two slots out of 30), it would be clear(er) what this is an answer to, although one can use links in the comments. Plus, it would make sense to have comments for the two posts in one page. I know, easier said than done. Among the questions to be answered: what to do when the first post should get off the first page and the reply shouldn't.
